It would be nice to be able to configure a set of inputs, a set of outputs, along with their associated filters, folder structures, file renaming, delete settings, etc, and save the whole setup as a profile with a name.

Then you could create a number of these profiles, and switch between them.

This would make it easier to switch between importing photos/videos to a standard photo structure, and doing ad hoc sifting of my standard photo structure to pull out a specific set of files based on metadata (i.e. by camera, dates, keywords).

After importing files from an camera, if they are deleted from the output, do not re-copy them to the output on subsequent sift operations.

Use case:
1) Sift 200 files from SD Card to output
2) Leave all of the 200 files on the SD Card
3) Delete 20 files from output because of poor quality
4) Take 5 photos on SD Card
5) Sift 205 files from SD Card again.
6) SilentSifter Only copy the 5 new files to the output, even though they have been deleted

It might be nice to have the ability to define specific dates, and have Silent Sifter automatically organize any photos/videos taken on those dates into pre-named events.

For example, you could define 'Christmas' as Dec 25, every year. And then configure Silent Sifter to create a folder structure of YYYY/MM/Event. And any photos from Dec 25th would automatically be put into a folder of 'Christmas' within YYYY/12/Christmas.

You could do the same for other holidays, or birthdays, or anniversary dates as well.

You could similarly apply a label to the photo/video filename with the Event, instead of putting it into a folder, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM_Event would be 2012-12-25 08-27_Christmas.JPG.

As always, you would only define this once, and then the next time you had photos from these dates, they would automatically be organized into these folders/labels.

What do you think?

When sifting an iPhoto library, it would be nice to be able to retain the iPhoto Event that was originally within iPhoto as a folder structure token, for those who have taken the time to organize iPhoto into logical events.

I would like upon input and grouping to be able to create a custom Event Name to be applied to the folders and the files. Windows Live Photo Gallery is the only program I have used to date that does this well and could be used as a guide.

It might be nice to be able to have pre-configured 'configlets' that contain rename logic, folder structure logic, and filter logic. Then when you add a new input/output you could choose which 'configlet' you want to use, and be done configuring the logic for how that input/output should behave.

Also, you might want to be able to choose a default input configlet, and a default output configlet, maybe by input/output type. That way you could say 'all dropbox outputs should use configlet 'by name, no rename, filter MOV' by default.

entry ratings don't show in iOS 8 due to the new predictive text buttons. allow for that space. When bluetooth keyboard is connected it doesn't hide the keyboard right away, I have to disconnect and reconnect to get it to hide.

I have several input locations and it annoys the crap out of me that I have to manually set each one up instead of being able to either
a) set "input" settings that are defaulted globally that i can then override if i choose
b) copy settings easily from one input to the next.

for example, i discovered that the moments feature was too granular for my needs, and had to go manually edit 8 inputs (or was it outputs)... whichever, same issue.
